💡 Step 1: The Concept
What if breakfast wasn’t just eaten


but built, brick by brick?

This concept reimagines cereal as a construction set. Every loop, block, and wrench-shaped piece is a playful nod to LEGO’s world of creativity. The cereal box doubles as a toolkit. The spoon becomes a crane. Even mealtime feels like a mini building project.

It’s not just breakfast — it’s Crunchstruction.

đŸ€– Step 2: The Prompt (ChatGPT)
I asked ChatGPT to translate that idea into ad-concept prompts that fuse play with morning rituals. Here’s one example:

“Create a playful breakfast ad featuring a LEGO-themed cereal box labeled ‘Crunchstruction Mix’. Spill colorful cereal pieces shaped like mini bricks and tools across the table. Include a toy bulldozer scooping cereal into a bowl, with tiny traffic cones around. Add tagline: ‘Build Your Breakfast.’ Lighting should be warm and inviting, evoking the fun of both playtime and breakfast time.”

Every prompt in the series follows this recipe:

  • Take a simple morning ritual (pouring cereal).

  • Overlay it with the brand’s core identity (LEGO = build + play).

  • Seal it with a cheeky tagline that merges food and fun.

Stylised Letterforms & Faux‑Text Hacks âœ’ïžđŸ”€

Goal: Coax AI to render headline‑style lettering or convincing placeholder “pseudo‑text” while respecting current model text limitations.

Understanding the Constraint

Most image models struggle with perfect spelling, but can output typographic shapes that look like letters at a glance. Use them as design cues or replace later in post‑production.

Need

Prompt Hack

Example Snippet

Generic headline look

Ask for “gibberish lorem‑style letters”

“bold sans‑serif gibberish headline text”

Hand‑lettered vibe

Call out medium & style

“brush‑stroke calligraphy phrase (illegible)”

Vintage signage

Combine era + material

“neon diner sign, glowing faux‑text”

Tech glitch text

Add distortion adjectives

“pixelated CRT text, corrupted glyphs”

4‑Step Prompt Recipe

  1. Specify Letterform Style
    “bold serif headline, vintage print texture.”

  2. Clarify Spelling Flexibility
    “indecipherable lorem letters acceptable.”

  3. Place & Size Text Block
    “large centered banner across top.”

  4. Describe Supporting Visuals
    “retro sci‑fi cityscape background.”

“Retro‑futuristic movie poster, large bold serif headline across top (indecipherable lorem letters), distressed print texture, neon sci‑fi cityscape beneath, deep blue and magenta palette, cinematic lighting”

Hands‑On Drill

  1. Pick a style (neon sign, brush script, corporate sans).

  2. Decide if exact wording is critical (yes → plan to overlay real text later).

  3. Write and generate prompt with recipe.

  4. Evaluate letterform shapes and spacing—good enough placeholder? If not, increase clarity adjectives (“blocky capitals”).

Debugging Tips

Problem

Solution

Letters unreadable blobs

Add “clear spacing between glyphs,” “uppercase block letters.”

AI spells random words

Accept placeholder; plan to replace in post.

Text blends into background

Increase contrast: “headline pure white, background dark teal.”

Series recap: Combine reserved copy space and stylised faux‑text with your mastered colour, layout, and style skills to produce production‑ready visuals fast.
